Jason Rhode, Ph.D.

Assistant Director
Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center

I develop and offer training programs and support faculty and staff on teaching with technology and related topics, provide leadership on technology-related issues, and perform supervisory functions at the Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center at Northern Illinois University.

With nearly 15 years of experience in the field of online learning, I have spent the past 8 years working closely with various units at NIU addressing faculty needs related to online teaching.  I enjoy sharing my expertise designing and teaching online and blended courses with others.
